ADVANCED WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
with Matt Krumins Photography
CHANGE THE WAY YOU SHOOT
Achieve sharper details, crisper motion and a deeper story in your wildlife photographs… but without the jargon and ego. This workshop focuses on practical, real-world decision making with your settings, mastering your focus methods as well as building story into your compositions.
MASTER SETTINGS
Get a thorough understanding of the settings needed to capture compelling images. Get to know their trade-offs and how to balance your decisions.
SHARPER SHOTS
Get crisper details and make your photos come to life by mastering your lenses and focus modes.
TELL A STORY
Transform your images from photographs of 'animals' to images that evoke feelings and stories.
WORKSHOP DETAILS
Small groups = More Personalisation.
ALL BRANDS ALL MODELS
Do you want a personalised approach specific to your camera? You’ve found it. With years of experience and thousands of workshop participants you’d be hard pressed to find a camera brand or model that I don’t know my way around.

WORKSHOP PLAN
1. DISCUSSION
2. THEORY
3. SHOOT
4. SUPPORT
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
You’ll need a camera with access to full manual settings including Aperture Priority & Shutter Priority mode. Please make sure you have a fully charged battery and space on your memory card.
Wildlife photography is generally best done with a telephoto lens. I recommend an equivalent of 300mm or more. If you’re on a crop sensor camera (not full frame) this means you would want something that is at least 200mm. If you’re not sure, give me a call on 0402 812 805.
If you have a monopod it can be a great opportunity to get to know this piece of gear. If not, no stress monopods can be useful but are not essential. Tripods are discouraged.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
In photography we never stop learning so there is always something to take away no matter what your experience level. That said, this workshop delves into some pretty detailed topics and so I recommend having a good understanding of exposure compensation and basic camera function before taking this one on.
Victoria can be a funny place when it comes to weather so regardless of the forecast I always recommend bringing a waterproof jacket as even on a sunny day Victoria can show it’s unique ability to change on a dime! If we have minor drizzle or patchy showers we will be out shooting still as many parts of the sanctuary are undercover and as a bonus we will have less people to contend with!
If we do have significant rain forecast you will be invited to book onto a different workshop date that suits your schedule. A judgement call will be made 5 days out from the workshop and a further assessment the day before.
My Wildlife Photography Workshop covers entry to Healesville Sanctuary for the day and can also be contributed towards a membership at the end of the session. You’ll need to bring or purchase lunch/snacks/coffee etc.
The workshop its self includes a HUGE notes pack with QR code links to video tutorials as well as my standard laminated quick reference cards for the settings and composition ideas covered.
Your workshop is always a small group giving you plenty of one-on-one instruction as well as personal attention relevant to your camera brand and model.
Also, I believe that photography concepts take practice and time so at the conclusion of your workshop you will be invited to an exclusive online support group on Facebook where you can continue to grow your photography alongside other Matt Krumins Photography Workshop participants!
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?










Thanks again Matt.













😊





Lightroom is something that I have struggled with for a few years and just could not grasp the basics. They way Matt breaks it down and the friendly, informative way it was presented, all suddenly started to make sense.
Matt could not of been any more helpful and displays an outstanding knowledge of the subject. It was my first course with Matt but certainly won’t be my last. Looking forward to doing more of the wide range of course he offers.

Highly recommend!






Matt made the process of learning and understanding fun and very helpful.
Now to go practice.
Thanks for a great time and all your help.




I came away with a better idea of what I needed to do to help myself. He provided a convenient set of tips on laminated cards as a takeaway support tool. Best thing was his help on settings for my camera; but he seemed to know enough on all the makes and models in our group.
Highly recommended.













Adding to my review, since completing the beginners course I also completed the Street and Travel which was fantastic! The pandemic restrictions hit but that didn’t stop Matt. He found a virtual way to deliver some of the courses. So I gave it a shot with the Compositions workshop and it was truly worth it. Following that we were able to be out and about so I completed the all day Seascapes and Peninsulas workshop. We learned to use ND filters and become more familiar with our cameras, well worth it! I also attended a four day photography festival where Matt was one of the organisers and presenters. Needless to say it was jam packed and has kept me busy during ISO. Most recently I completed the mastering manual workshop and it did not disappoint and is well worth it. If you are looking to learn more about photography in a practical way, just book in with Matt, you won’t regret it!





Would definitely recommend others to attend his workshops and 10/10 would attend more of his workshops.
Thank you so much once again!











Additionally he seems to know how every camera works so even if you don’t it’s okay because he does.
Thanks Matt.


The most recent addition was a 3 hour 1 on 1 workshop with Matt to recap and cover off ideas for an upcoming trip to Sri Lanka.
Matt is incredibly patient and a great teacher and has an ability to be able to explain complex explanations in a way that is easily relatable and you will remember.
The 1 on 1 workshop allowed me to ask as many questions as possible.
I also had the opportunity to explore filters and Speed lighting which I had never even considered before.
Would highly recommend Matt’s workshops he goes above and beyond for each and every one of his students !



Matt's small group workshops are the best way to enjoy life in small groups and get out and about while the public is sparse.
He's got plenty of sanitizer available and all classes are contactless.
Never stop learning! It's a great opportunity!




I attended his very helpful city night photography class and hope to do more with him in future.





great tips funny and easy to understand
highly recommend








This was a fantastic workshop. Learnt heaps and stepped out of my comfort zone. Matt is a great teacher and I am looking forward to doing more of his courses.





> Matt has a way of explaining technical jargon in layman’s terms.
> Matt breaks down the course into bite size chunks in a very logical order.
> well structured so that you can understand key components of any camera such that when you go out and take pics you apply what you have just learned and maximise your cameras settings
> Matt spends one on one time with participants in a small group to answer all your questions in full.
> gives you instant feedback on your photos so that you can take that pic again with better knowledge
5 out of 5 stars. Great course. I’ll definitely recommend Matt’s course to my friends and family.



I highly recommend this workshop with Matt.



Matt is a very talented and creative man.
as a beginner I couldn't believe how much I have learned in only 3 hours.
I really liked his approach to photography and how he teaches to see and observe everything around us.
I was in a small group of very nice people, so it wasn't crowded and easy to get individual guidelines from Matt.
highly recommended guys!
